The latest transfer news focuses on Raheem Sterling to Barcelona, as the La Liga giants reportedly want to sign the Manchester City and England winger this January.
Mark this one under: wow, I guess this would make sense? Despite his incredible form for England at EURO 2020 over the summer, Sterling, 26, does seem to be at a crossroads in his club career.
Pep Guardiola has used him mostly off the bench early in this season and it seems like he may not fit in to City’s plans of playing four interchanging attacking midfielders in the final third.
Raheem Sterling has less than two years left on his Man City contract and the upcoming transfer windows are when they could cash in on him, if they want to.

According to a report from Oriol Domench, via Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona have been tracking Sterling for some time.
The report goes on to state that Sterling could join Barcelona in January, as the Spanish giants are also chasing Dani Olmo. It is believed that Barcelona tried to sign both players in the summer too.
Hang on, aren’t Barcelona struggling financially? That is the big problem with this report. Given that La Liga have reduced Barcelona’s salary cap due to their current financial situation, spending big to bring in Sterling would be surprising, if not impossible.—AP
